………is it really hard to survive in this world? Why there are
so many hatreds among people? Hatred on class, caste, color, religion, philosophy,
ideology, different life styles, and GENDER becomes unbearable. You may wonder about
the capitalization of word GENDER. This article is about the hatred on gender
which resultant in the double marginalization of women in the male centered
society. As the word equality implies that the equal opportunity for both gender
based the cognitive ability, it also means that both gender has the freedom to explore,
develop and create opportunity to the opposite sex in the world where their
actions results in developing both gender in the society. But is it possible to
get equality in the society which was created by male for a very long period of
time.
In the book SITA, Amish portrayed Sita as a warrior where
most of the epic shows her as a docile, weak and submissive to Ram. But this made
me to rekindle the history on when the world changes into male centric and
women’s role in literature, household is to satisfy the male ego. Is it really a
woman’s job to cleanse the sins of man? Has she always admitted to the rules
which was created by male where they could enjoy all the pleasures but the
pressure has always been transferred to woman? When could the time reverse and
retaliate things and make things normal out of chaos?
Recently I had a conversation with one of my friends that
she has been taunted by her own parents and in laws of not providing enough love
and support for her child. Her child is just one year old and she has been doing
all the chores, getting few helps from her husband. But in this case, we can
think on why she has been taunted, mortified, and humiliated? As a human both men
and women have different anatomy she
delivers a baby after enduring so much
physical pain so sometimes she may get distressed on certain things but why
does the society expect a woman to put a fake smile? Why does she have to be perfect
in the imperfect world? Why does she has to pretend that she is fine after
enduring all the flagellation? Why she has been glorified for the sacrifices
she makes in the family? Why she has been given extra credits if she takes care
of the family? Even the tales of God which
we hear from child where male centric for instance Buddha left the palace in
search of knowledge what if Yashodhara took the same decision and left her
husband and her son for knowledge? How would the world have reacted? Obviously,
the repercussion would be bitter and tainted her moral behavior. So from the
ancient time to the 21st century where women attained few freedom like
allowing to get education and allowing them to work outside the house and reservation,
maternity leave in companies but isn’t it enough? Nope the world needs the change
of mind not mere reservation, or few relaxation on certain rules created by the
world created by men. People need to understand women doesn’t want freedom because
no one has the authority to give freedom to anybody in the democratic world. She
always has the freedom to choose and act in the competitive world.
